Depending on who you speak to, there are differences in the process for removing data via Data Removal Policies.  I've always subscribed to the method of

1. Run Data Removal Policy
2. Run CR Garbage Collection
3. Run MB Garbage Collection
4. Repeat 1-4 another 3 times.

Recently though, I was told that you should run MB garbage collections before CR garbage collections.  Can someone confirm?

Thanks in advance.

Need to run multiple times

FYI

You need to run the CR Garbage collection mulptiple times for the data to actually clear out.

Technote stating at least four times.......
